A friend of mine sent this email to me. It thought me a very valuable lesson. It kinda reminded me of the book I read and loved - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. Each person is in your life for a reason. No matter what you do in this lifetime, no matter who you encountered along the way, remember that you will touch the lives of the people around you and vise versa. In other words, people around you influence your life.
And I decided to come up with a list of things you can do to be a positive influence to the people around you ;)
1. Smile and greet them! Say hello followed by their names (Even if their names are a mouthful)
2. Show appreciation - thank them sincerely! Show you care. Because caring is sharing =P Does that make sense?
3. Get them a card if necessary - homemades work best! Makes full use of your creative side too!
4. Or presents! Everyone loves presents =P
5. Or take them out for lunch! Haha! People are happier after a hearty meal!
6. Listen carefully to whatever they say - remember to remove the earplugs out of your ears!
7. Laugh! Sing! Show that you are a bunch of joy! =D In other words, show your enthusiastic side! And I don't mean just being loud! (Imagine your team winning the Champions League Finals! XD Good for you, all Manchester United and Liverpool fans!)
8. Encourage them and not put them down. Be their cheerleader!
9. Be interested in them and urge them to keep talking. People just LOVE to talk!
10. And finally, tell them they do make difference =) In a form of a ribbon will be nice!
Good Luck & Thanks for reading ;)
